Damselmery can't smile, but their wide open jaws make Benjamin Salve, who photographed one of the insects depicted above last year, looks like they're laughing or sticking out their tongues last year.
It was one of Salv's winning and acclaimed entry at the Royal Entomological Society's 2024 photo conference. Here is another praised image: Captured by Tyler Redford, showing a violet leaf beetle (Chrysolina Stulumi) Cling to the grass stem. Redford was looking for a spider, but was hit by the “unusual” rainbow tone of a beetle.

Taking eye-catching photos of insects requires a lot of patience, luck and muscle memory, says Salve. He aims to film them during the warm months of pre-dawn hours when they are less active. Take multiple shots at different focal lengths and combine them to increase the depth of field of the final product. This is often the result of dozens of images.
Damselfly's paintings – the exact species are unknown – is one of Salb's favorites, characterized by the symmetrical false-making of insects. It is a dark egg that appears in a complex image, composed of many lenses.
“Because Damselmery is a capable and intense predator with an almost cartoonish look when you see the close-up. “I think it's a good subject to share with kids and adults to make them more interested in the little world around us.”
